Internet Speed Problem - Please Help
« on: January 28, 2012, 08:04:33 AM »
Hello fellow Rawkites,

With tonights match not being on TV where I am (Australia), I need to stream tonights game on my laptop. The only problem I have is that my internet seems to be running really slowly recently. It usually runs at about 300+ kb/s when downloading something but is only running at about 10kb/s. We haven't gone over our internet limit (slows down once 25gb is reached) and I have tried turning the router on and off with no luck. Does anyone here know how I can get my internet back up to speed again?

Cheers  :wave

Your computer is clogged up with spyware from all those porn sites you've visited.  ;)
Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool.

Sometimes I've got slow speeds cos my dsl filters were fucked, dunno what kind of BB you have and if you use dsl filters. To be honest I'd phone your ISP, match kicks off in under 4 hours and you don't wanna be pissing about looking for issues yourself when your ISP might be able to resolve them.

My download speed is now at 1mb/s according to speedtest.net

Calling Telstra? I will be speaking to the support desk at half time! :p

Edit: Similar speeds on other devices
